I came because my teacher said so, I didn't regret listening to this guy. To protect the truth from the fallacy, we should not focus on algorithms and machines more but instead, philosophy and ethics. Finally, school for me has finally some fun and knowledge that I can finally use in my daily life.

It's true what is said: a lie travels 'round the world before the truth can get its boots on
@BLAIR M Schirmer What's she got to do with anything? She's a puppet just like the rest of 'em!
Then become a soldier. Therefore you can see the truth
@@sahinyasar9119 Hard pass. In war, truth is always the first casualty.
It's called bots. Those who spread fame news benefit from fast and wide spread. Using bots gets you there instantly. True news relies on spreading by human interaction, which is fastly slower.
Edit: he just introduced the bots. I spoke too soon, sorry. I was partially right though :p
@@EquiliMario I think obsolete said boots not bots
To summarize: People’s opinions aren’t worth the same as facts. Always doubt, search multiple sources, ask a shitload of questions.
And social media can be very dangerous
@@obsoleteoptics direct experience? be careful what you ask
@@phil6264 why?
@@obsoleteoptics have you experienced war? have you experienced persecution because you are different? have to seen your friend killed by a terrorist? I have, and I do not want to experience it again.
And even all that still might not be enough.......
Thank you Sinan Aral for bringing this important issue to light. I have deep concerns for the future world my grandchildren will inherit.
I thought about how to combine all of his recommendations. I accidentally invented the newspaper.
“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”
― George Orwell, 1984
The real danger lies in the question "who gets to say what is true and what is not?"
It's not only about bot, policy and info transparency. Since anyone can spread information easily by using social media, I think it's everyone's responsibility to rethink before retweet.
Hugely important research on one of the most pressing challenges in politics and society
Homer in his book ILLIAD said the same about thousands of years ago : "Wisdom is lost in Knowledge, and Knowledge is lost in information"
Didn't find a proof on it. Only T.S. Eliot's quote. Have a link?
An excellent video. I greatly appreciate that he offers options for how to solve this issue, rather than simply highlighting it 👌🏻
What we need is reputable news sources, in the sense that we can trust them as a primary source or as a reliable, fact-checking secondary source, without any digital hocus pocus having gone on, but without any slant or opinion, so that we can make our own minds up. Or to put it another way, there ought to be a much clearer separation between reports and editorials, which are often blurred together, and better education so that people understand the difference between these two types of journalism.
This is so weird, this is exactly were I was thinking of the last couple of days. And now this was posted...
What madness is it that in the current times, the very nature of truth is in question...But if this is the case, all we can trust is what's human; trust your instinct. Not feelings before facts, but use your common sense, your wisdom and the opinions of those around you, to make informed decisions. That's what we'll need to rely on.
I always tell my friends: separate the Facts from the Stories about the Facts. Facts are objective and can be verified; Stories are subjective and are based around emotions, opinions, and bias. These days, an online new article can revolve around a single Fact but a plethora of Stories. Separate the Facts from the Stories about the Facts and you'll find a lot of news these days is pretty lacking. The truth is often much more boring...😜
And it's time consuming :(
It is really difficult to establish facts in social science. Consider history for example- Is it a fact that european imperialism was good for the colonized countries?
Some people might argue that imperialism brought welfare and development to the "uncivilized" world. Whereas others argue that europeans looted and made them miserable.
So you see, theres no truth here. In humanities, there is no right answer, there are just better opinions.
The Biden Burisma/Rosemont Seneca connection is pretty exciting.
1984!!
That's very true. When I was young, Walter Cronkite would take his glasses off at the end of the news and clearly state that what he was aobut to say was opinion. There is no such distinction today. This goes back to Ted Turner and his need to fill a 24 hour programming cycle. You can only read the headlines so many times. So, they started introducing "commentators', and soon we were listening to 23 hours and 45 minutes of opinion.
The freedom of speech does not cover spreading lies.
There is no such a thing as the freedom to lie.
Unfortunately that's exactly how the majority of people perceive spreading their idealism. They google their beliefs, find something that correlates with their agenda and then just espouse it as fact.
This would have been helpful 20 years ago
Unfortunately none of the solutions he put forward seem viably sound to me?
Funny you should say that, metal gear solid 2 warned us exactly 20 years ago in 2001
Information is power ❌
Contact is power✔️
Amazing cintribution
Excellent talk!
Amen, bro. Amen!
GREAT video! I generally never comment or leave a like but in this case I felt I had to. Truly one of my favorite👏🏽
Truth doesn't need protection. It simply is and can stand on its own under scrutiny and questioning.
Very important piece
it's not up to anybody to protect truth from misinformation. it's up to the receiver of the information to determine
It's been said that you can't believe everything you read. At some point, we may not be able to believe _anything_ we read...
You know we can still write...
Feeber Izer More interestingly - this is not a new phenomenon.
Mythology, war propaganda and ideological texts (including all religious purposes) used the disinformation to control masses of population for as long as writing existed.
We are just much more aware of it today and have a faster communication.
True that!
@@MetallicReg Yes sir thanks for that.
I am actually here for my homeworks; but it’s actually a great time to listen to serious some kind of political issues and to be aware on a specific thing or situation. By the way I’m a10th grade student. K BYE ✌️
Same, english project
Great talk!
my suggestion:
state things with a special source site that's shared by people who state this or else people will lack incentive to believe you. It would contain proof for and against what you state. These sites would also have backups and hashes of each state to prove that it hasn't been meddled with as the hashes would be recorded in multiple servers. Each section of the source site would have its hash as well
Make sure the "main stream" media are unbiased, that way people won't resort to social media for news
That's SF first.
Protect the truth! Amazing. As if the truth isint universal, for everyone, and that it can be threatened by something other than the truth! What you meant is to protect your assets. Others want your assets, maybe. When the truth finds you, you are fulfilled by it! When you are not participating in evolution, you are busy trying to "protect" (intellectual property or material). If you operate from lack insted of abundance, life has a duty to set your priority straigh! Your heart IS the source of abundance. Not your collection of bits and pieces. Bless these talks.
I am reminded of the character of the 'Fair Witness' in Robert A. Heinlein's 'Stranger in a Strange Land' (1961). The 'Fair Witness' was a white robed professional observer whose reports were absolutely reputable.
Amazing content
We’ve reached a time filled with chaos, anxiety and uncertainty. We can’t discern the truth from fiction.
He says we need to be more aware and have a better system of checks and balances. It won’t matter. The chaos has already bred with our minds. It’s here to stay for the foreseeable future. We’ve become dependent on technology. We thought it would improve our lives. The consequences of the technology has moved in and become apparent. Everything has become either meaningless, or a blunt shock to our fragile emotions. We live on impulses of craziness.
The only way to stop the chaos is to stop the technology or totally opt out, when possible.
We should have listened to Ted Kaczynsky.
So true!
"Holding Fiction to Power" 36c3
obscurity does not help in security. Open and transparent is not at odds. The implications on this talk are skewed into selling a bill of goods for a system that will be used for information suppression businesses and governments would love it.
I live in Sweden and Yes there is a ton of misleading information here, both from companies, news media and social media.
“What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon.”
Maybe the only way out is to just not trust anything online....?! Im quite pessimistic on the topic.
Then you have thrown the truth out with the lies.
YOU MUST USE YOUR OWN DISCERNMENT AND SHARPEN IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.
I know it's tiring for someone like you.........
@@VeggiePower303 alright let's try that
Youre being randomly aggressive so you're already out :^)
Yep. Especially in social media. Double or triple check everything.
1% truth plus 99% falsehood is not equal to 100% truth

TRUTH PROTECTS ITS SELF.
Very interesting and insightful! This quote is priceless, "Humans have to be in the loop of this technology because we can never escape that underlying any technological solution or approach is a fundamental ethical and philosophical question about how do we define truth and falsity, to whom do we give the power to define truth and falsity, and which opinions are legitimate, which type of speech should be allowed and so on. Technology is not a solution for that. Ethics and philosophy is a solution for that." This is THE fundamental question, isn't it? I think the answer to this question can only come through outside self-attesting revelation, otherwise, we are caught in the trap of relativism and subjectivism, and human opinion. The foundation must be the self-attesting Biblical revelation of the one and only Trinitarian God of the infallible and inerrant Bible. Without this revelation, you can't know anything!
only education can level up protection. it also applylies to manipulation and framing as well. but not alone. need a framework of control system as well
18.00 PM to Thailand sir now
We'll very likely progress into 'You can't believe everything you think'
I like his voice.
Politics and sociology study the skill of spreading information, true or false.
I personally think we're past the point where we can realistically do much. We're all boned. So might as well enjoy the time we have and go with the flow.
People will believe a lie before they believe the truth.
Please present solutions. Freedom of SPeech can be, as long as publishers are required to explain who is funding what

Its pretty ironic that this is on ted, the people that choose the speakers should watch this

Mr. Aral, I won't believe a word you said until I corroborate your statements through multiple independent sources. 😉😀
I completely agree with the problem as presented, but the solutions suggested here, which mostly amount to corporations policing themselves, are unrealistic. Facebook and companies like it will never act ethically because they are not ethically motivated - they exist purely to enrich their owners.
To avoid lies and propaganda that create the parallel universe we live in one needs to question everything served including what's served in this video, but also what's daily spread by TV stars, then step into other side's shoes, look for motives around you, backgrounds, tribal interests within the tribe, money, and especially look for what's not in the news... For everything else there's truth and nothing but the truth on the WikiLeaks. 😎
Truth is relative!
What is real and what is fake? That's the game that the web plays more and more as it grows. Like we didn't have enough in our lives to question??

There is good and bad press... "Those which strive to speak only that which is truth, which hold the mirror up to truth, are like the sun: they light the world everywhere with truth and their work is imperishable. Those who play for their own little selfish ends give no true light to the world and perish of their own futility." - Abdu’l-Baha, Star of the West, Baha'i Faith
Don’t be afraid of your fears. They’re not there to scare you. They’re there to let you know that something is worth it.
Listen to your radio station anymore. They don't tell you what time it is anymore. That's because they recorded it earlier. Nobody is really in the radio station anymore.
Not sure what the exact solution is, but I'm confident blockchains will be involved.
who's here because of school?
Technologie is the tool to implement a fix to all these issues but it seems he has not brought up the concept of smart contracts at all as far as governance is concerned. But that's ok give it time.
He said "Which speech should be allowed"? I got an Idea, how about free speech?
Im here bc of my English project
False, the technology is still out of reach for most people. I'm a programmer and I can tell you AI is not that simple. AI models are work of art!

What we need to do is teach people how to discern bullshit from facts, and to never believe what you see until it is confirmed by multiple sources, and to only listen to opinions that are either not spreading any new "facts" or that are based on known facts.
The speaker seems to be trying to shout out over the noise of a crowd in a silent room. The stridency of his voice made listening to him somewhat distracting.
Yeah, first 10 min. shouting about a problem as if we heard it for the first time, and then shouting solutions that are no solutions.
Typical. When people can't argue the message, they attack the method used to convey the message.
@@dwaneyocum1718 Well, he isn't the first one with this message, is he. Or are you saying you never heard this one before? It's like shouting cancer isn't good for your health.
Nobody's arguing the message. That's just the fake news going on inside your own head.
